They beat Utah tonight and are 8-2 since going to small ball. Rudy Gobert looked lost all night and only ended up with 6 total rebounds. Covington had 12 rebounds for Houston. He also blocked Gobert on 3 different occasions.

I like Christian Wood, but he does a lot of things that tell me his basketball IQ isn't the highest.

He just set a screen for Knight and Portland switched. Knight now has the ball and a big on him. Wood should clear out and let Knight take the big one on one in space. But Wood instantly set another screen allowing Portland to switch again and get the guard back on Knight.

The real question with the extreme small-ball comes if/when Houston plays Denver or LAL in the West.

Brown is often making bad decisions and isn't always the most precise player, but he is definitely someone who gives every minute on the court his best effort. To have 4 straight games with 10 rebounds as the teams starting PG is damn impressive. I think we have seen some nice growth from Brown this year (especially with his shooting) and next year will be crucial to determine what his future in the NBA is.
